Many of the critically defining problems of our time resist piecemeal treatment. Understanding consciousness, curing cancer, alleviating poverty, managing environmental sustainability, mitigating climate change without triggering new failures, securing digital infrastructure, managing geopolitical instability, slowing social decay, and containing the adverse effects of runaway technological growth are not separate challenges but tightly coupled dynamical processes. […]
Conflict and competitive adversarialism are not necessarily moral failures or aberrations. They are contingent, historically acquired, culturally entrained mechanisms by which complex cognitive, cultural, and communicative systems reliably differentiate, learn, and reproduce themselves over time. These mechanisms arise because complexity does not form around completeness, nor does it arise from closure, certainty, or final resolution. […]
Executive summary Delay is not a flaw to be engineered away. It is the control parameter that sets a systemβs operating frequency. Most complex organisational and institutional service delivery systems tend to fail when their timing is misaligned with the realities they are intended to regulate. That misalignment is rarely visible as a single βslow […]

A key takeaway is that while the replication of systems of cultural narrative are the center of gravity, truth itself is (or becomes) incidental to the main game of communications system self-replication. Institutional “doom scrolling” is a generative method by […]
